My black bean beef burgers

These black bean beef burgers were a success! It seems when there is some meat in a burger my family will readily try it.  So I decided to add meat to my black beans.  It is also makes a lot more burgers using less meat.

 Here is my recipe:

1 lb lean ground beef 

1 19oz can black beans, drained and roughly mashed

 1 onion diced

 2 cloves garlic minced

 1/2c breadcrumbs

 2 eggs

 1/2 tsp chipotle or chili pepper 

1/2 can tomato paste 

1/2 tsp cumin

 1/2 tsp dried oregano

 mix all ingredients to form approx 12 patties pan fry in canola oil 8 mins per side,  flip gently

I am going to try baking at 325 F  10 mins per side as an option

 This recipe would work for chick peas as well
